TMS 2012 - Orlando, USA
 
MQP is participating in this Conference from 11 to 15 March  and John Courtenay will be presenting two papers:
 
"Automated measurement of liquid metal, heel and full furnace weights in tilting furnaces"
 
"A new fused magnesium chloride containing refining flux based on a ternary system"
 
 

MQP provides a wide range of products to the aluminium industry. We are specialists in improving melt quality. It is through our research and development programmes and our dedication that we are able to provide the latest technologies to serve our customers. We can provide you with quality improving cost saving solutions throughout the Aluminium Cycle.

  • Filtration improvement
 
  • Custom fitted band saws
  • Filters
  • Stirring analysis
  • Fluxing Solutions

One of the first technology innovations to be introduced by MQP was the Opticast system which is a unique methodology for the in line control and optimisation of grain refinement. OptiFine, highly potent and cost effective TiBAl rod grain refiners, now complement this technology.

In 2005 MQP launched Batchpilot, a novel, patented, system for accurate electronic measurement of furnace heel weights and transfer weights.

MQP promotes environmentally friendly solutions and the Refinal range of fused granular refining agents provides an effective means of removing alkalis and inclusions particularly when used in cojunction with the STAS rotary flux injector. MQP also markets other STAS equipment including the Alcan compact degasser (ACD) and the inert gas cooler (IGDC).

OptiFilter is a novel, patented, system for delivering ultra high filtration efficiency at least comparable to the best filter bed practice and without the high cost and practical difficulties and suitable for frequent alloy changing and short production runs.

MQP has developed this equipment in partnership with Trimet Aluminium, Drache, N-Tec and the University of Delft and it is now undergoing extensive production testing.

The XC Filter is a novel patented three chamber filtration system incorporating a mini bed in the third chamber, suitable for medium to long production runs which resulted from co-operation with Hydro Research & Development group in Bonn. The system has been succesfully used for extended casting periods during proof of concept testing at a major casthouse in Germany.

New product lines introduced in 2010 include the Alspek H hydrogen analyser and Moduloc Digital Laser Level Sensor.
